Alison and I walked 5 miles this morning round the New Forest starting at Moyles Court. Beautiful walk which took us to Robin Hood's clump and on to a WW2 directional finder station, Huff Duff. Nearby were the remains of the old air raid shelter too. Very interesting to see but no match for the wonderful scenery.
On the way we'd stopped briefly at Blashford and seen hundreds of sand martins feeding up prior to migrating to Africa, similar numbers of coot and many heron, cormorants and great crested grebe. I saw the Great White Egret for the first time and a water pipit was patrolling the shore line. During our later walk we were lucky to see several stonechats, as well as kestrel, jay and skylark.
